Another Wheel Thread!

But this time by a new guy.

Just thought I'd share a teaser pic of a 16x7 wheel I dug up and I'm about to test fit later tonight after the storm. Taken via cell phone today when FedEx delivered to my residence...

I haven't seen a concave face wheel on a SA22c. It seems *everyone* has a minilite replica wheel or some sort; maybe I'll set a new trend? Sixteen pounds per wheel, and almost has more shine than my few year old paintjob.

Falken Azenis RT615 215/45-16's will re-soling my new shoes. It has about almost the same exact diameter off by .3% smaller than the GSL-SE wheels/tires on the SA22c. I had to jump on the deal.

These were a limited production run only available from JLB Motorsports. Right now with what stock they have left they are knocking off $50 shipped http://www.jlbmotorsports.com/specials/16-SPECIALS.html

The wheels were a special run only produced in 4x114.3 and a +25 for the FC and a few other cars. I know of some other sites that did group buys in the past. You won't find this wheel in the Konig Catalog

I have those on my SA. Sorry to tell you but you are going to need to change your bolt pattern to 114.3 . Also, I found out that it rubs my fenders a bit, so I'm waiting to either buy some of Billy (Re-Speed) fender flairs or get my fenders rolled.

He does have the Se wheel pattern, his car in the pics has SE wheels.

After I get the wheels installed I already have planned to buy a baseball bat from Toys R Us and roll my fenders, and then return it an hour later! Hahaha.

But thanks for the input, man!

Well, I already tried the fender rolling thing. It helps but it still seems to rub the fender every now and then. Maybe I didn't do that great of a job, but I dedicated 2 days to roll the inner fender and to bend the fender outwards. I hope all goes well when you do it.
